Roadmap ID:
503553
What changed:
The Microsoft 365 Admin Center introduces a centralized governance layer under Copilot > Search > Authoritative content. Admins with Global admin or Global reader roles can view, add, delete, and bulk import or export up to 100 authoritative SharePoint sites. Previously, there was no centralized management for authoritative sources in Copilot Search.
Why:
This change allows organizations to enhance search relevance by designating trusted SharePoint sites, improving content discovery and user experience within Copilot Search.
Try this:
Go to Microsoft 365 Admin Center and select Copilot > Search > Authoritative content.
Add or remove SharePoint Online sites to define authoritative sources.
Use the bulk import or export options to manage multiple sites efficiently.
Why this matters:
Defining authoritative content improves search result accuracy, helping users find trusted organizational information faster.
Business impact:
IT teams gain centralized control over search content relevance, reducing support requests related to search accuracy.
Personal impact:
Users experience more relevant search results, saving time locating important SharePoint content.
